  • Great compression but is really buggy on my macbook air...

    I've struggled with needing space on my macbook air as I'm a video editor and I got this partly for that however the first project I ran on it decided not to do anything and I couldn't delete it or stop it... next for some reason the app keeps expanding past my screens limits and won't let me shorten the tab... Just wish I wasn't having these issues right now.

    PLEASE STOP ASKING ME TO REVIEW APPS! Sweet monkeys... I'm just trying to work. Updated the review because it asked me to rank it again. Please stop asking me to rank your software.
  • More powerful than you think

    II am a medical educator with limited knowledge of video processing, so take what I saw with a grain of salt. I like compressor because: Conversions are WAY faster than with any other program I know. It is possible to export videos as TIFF/JPEG/PNG frames, which is great for getting still images of medical videos for teaching purposes. It is possible to import a folder of TIFF/JPEG/PNG frames and convert them to a movie, which is great for creating simple medical education cartoon movies. It is possible to change frame rates and crop videos (latter great for de-identifying medical videos). What I do NOT like about compressor is: 1. The .avi movie format is not supported. This is a HUGE negative, as many (most) medical imaging equipment create their video exports as .avi files. Quicktime app of yore used to do many of the things Compressor now does and one of those things was it was able to convert .avi files. Apple, PLEASE add .avi conversion capability to Compressor, which is needed for medical professionals

    I've used other third party compressors for years but Apple's is the best. Seemlessly links to Final Cut too.

    Apple program on an Apple product. Updates break it every time. Whats the point of Apple's ecosystem if their own products/software dont work well together?
  • Convenient to export FCP projects efficiently

    The app itself makes it easy to export in various compatible formats beyond what FCP has built-in. Creating custom export profiles makes it easy as well, as portrait formats were not available for social media.
  • Simple and Flexible

    Compressor is relatively easy to use and the ability to set custom formatters to export my projects out of Final Cut Pro is very handy. I also like that it is a powerful tool that doesn't have a subscription. Buy it once, it's yours.
  • Great application. Love the droplets feature

    I'm just learning how this application works and it's fantasitc. I primarily use it to transcode video from 4k to 1080p and it's fast. It's also great for large batches. At the current price tag you can't go wrong In my opinion.
